Gender Studies 333DS - Feminist/Queer Disabil. Pol.

This seminar will examine foundational and recent US-based feminist and queer disability studies scholarship and activism. In particular, the course will focus on how scholars and activists have answered the question: What is disability justice? In order to answer this question, we will look at how disability has been constructed and treated historically and currently, particularly at the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality. We will also focus on how scholars and activists have challenged pathologizing and violent narratives about disability and created new ways of thinking about bodies, norms, our built environment, interdependency, and justice
